//Different validations:
 NSString * inputStr = @"Hey ";

//Check length
[inputStr length]

//Coming from server, check if its NSNull
[inputStr isEqual:[NSNull null]] ? nil : inputStr

//For validation in allowed character set
-(BOOL)validateString:(NSString*)inputStr
{
    BOOL isValid = NO;
    if(!([inputStr length]>0))
    {
        return isValid;

    }

    NSMutableCharacterSet *allowedSet = [NSMutableCharacterSet characterSetWithCharactersInString:@".-"];
    [allowedSet formUnionWithCharacterSet:[NSCharacterSet decimalDigitCharacterSet]];
    if ([inputStr rangeOfCharacterFromSet:[allowedSet invertedSet]].location == NSNotFound)
    {
        // contains only decimal set and '-' and '.'

斯威夫特版本

即使这是一个Objective C问题，我需要在Swift中使用NSString，所以我也会在这里包括一个答案。

let myNSString: NSString = ""

if myNSString.length == 0 {
    print("String is empty.")
}

或者NSString是可选的:

var myOptionalNSString: NSString? = nil

if myOptionalNSString == nil || myOptionalNSString!.length == 0 {
    print("String is empty.")
}

// or alternatively...
if let myString = myOptionalNSString {
    if myString.length != 0 {
        print("String is not empty.")
    }
}

正常的Swift String版本是

let myString: String = ""

if myString.isEmpty {
    print("String is empty.")
}

请参见:检查Swift中的空字符串?

你最好使用这个类别:

@implementation NSString (Empty)

    - (BOOL) isWhitespace{
        return ([[self stringByTrimmingCharactersInSet:[NSCharacterSet whitespaceAndNewlineCharacterSet]]length] == 0);
    }

@end

只需使用一个if else条件，如下所示:

方法1:

if ([yourString isEqualToString:@""]) {
        // yourString is empty.
    } else {
        // yourString has some text on it.
    }

方法2:

if ([yourString length] == 0) {
    // Empty yourString
} else {
    // yourString is not empty
}

只需将字符串传递给以下方法:

+(BOOL)isEmpty:(NSString *)str
{
    if(str.length==0 || [str isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]] || [str isEqualToString:@""]||[str  isEqualToString:NULL]||[str isEqualToString:@"(null)"]||str==nil || [str isEqualToString:@"<null>"]){
        return YES;
    }
    return NO;
}

你可以检查你的字符串是空的或不是我使用这个方法:

+(BOOL) isEmptyString : (NSString *)string
{
    if([string length] == 0 || [string isKindOfClass:[NSNull class]] || 
       [string isEqualToString:@""]||[string  isEqualToString:NULL]  ||
       string == nil)
     {
        return YES;         //IF String Is An Empty String
     }
    return NO;
}

最佳实践是创建一个共享类UtilityClass并使用这个方法，这样你就可以通过在应用程序中调用它来使用这个方法。
